Another intriguing fight next. The future people's champion!

[crusader]

be interesting to see what the scorecards were

Mitchell ahead by 6 on one of them,I had it even by the time of the ending

6

I thought it was close

Yep really enjoyed that: top class boxing from both men.[/quote]

Dunno why but in my head I read that post in Jim Watt's voice[/quote]

[Bobbyptsd]

I think that's a little harsh with regards to your comment about KM coming up short. Take that vile injury away and he was still in the fight.

Why don't you take away all the rounds Linares won while you're at it.[/quote]



Yeah, I love that kind of thought process when someone favours one fighter over another.

"He hardly even beat him, really, if you take away the fight part"

Did Mitchells corner miss a trick there by not getting the doc to have a good check of the eye at the end of the 9th, might of gone to the scorecards

I think so. I'm surprised the ref didn't refer to the doctor at any point really, it was a bad injury.

[Counter-puncher]

Bunce just said the Mitchell of tonight would have battered Burns

Burns would have beat this version then and he'd beat him now.

That's why I said that.

The challenger?

That fight just broke my heart. Fantastic from Mitchell!

[jameswilson]

I dunno why I find really effeminate ring entrance (yeah go on) music really amusing.

If Johnson wins does he become the new future people's champion?

That's why I said that.

I wasn't trying to suggest that you agreed with him. I was just saying.

No, if he wins he goes from being Kevin Johnson to being Tony Thompson. You can only move one rung at a time.

Was it an accidental clash of heads then that caused the cut?

Yeah, it cut Linares on the forehead too.

[Tarkus]

Man who never been stopped Kevin Johnson against a man who never went to distance Ian John Lewis.

Uh oh,.....IJL

The horrendous one that could have caused a halt between one of the rounds (in my opinion,) yes, I'm pretty sure it was.

[MightyWarrior]

Can someone PM me a good link please

[JamesH]

Was good to see Mitchell walk out with his head held high, rightly so. Feel sorry for him, he gave everything, but the last rounds were shaping up to be brutal. He fought well, I thought it was very close but the momentum was quickly swinging away from him. Shame, real shame.

One over the left eye was a clash of heads, but the cuts over the right eye and on the bridge of the nose were from punches, as was the huge swell on the left side of his face.
